Research adds value to gin cotton byproducts.

Researchers have discovered valuable properties in gin cotton byproducts, which were previously seen as waste material. These byproducts, such as burrs, sticks, and stems, are now being used in various ways, including composting, cattle feed, and even energy generation. Finding new uses for gin trash is seen as an important contribution to cotton's sustainability message. Ongoing research is exploring thermochemical processes like gasification, pyrolysis, and torrefaction, which could further enhance the value of gin byproducts. [Extracted from the article]
